8 Drops You Don't Want to Miss This Week

This week’s drop round-up sees the return of Supreme for Fall/Winter 2019. The seasonal intermission from the streetwear staple has helped make this release that much more special, opening with a bang — totaling almost 70 new products.

Elsewhere, PLEASURES continues its cynical jab at modern-day issues — evoking a deeper message through bold graphics and slogans across T-shirts, outwear, and pants. C2H4 continues its journey into the future with a “Post Human Era” collection release, this time experimenting with technical fabrics, but under a minimalistic theme. Collaborations this week arrive in the form of Virgil Abloh’s MCA Chicago “Figures of Speech” range of apparel, the YSTRDY’S TMRRW x LEE “BAGGY” denim capsule, and Nobuyoshi Araki’s photoprint collection with uniform experiment.

Key items this week are the Supreme x Tsubota lighters, the Mary J. Blige tee, Supreme PYREX measuring cup, Palace’s Tactic T-shirt, PLEASURES’ SPIKE cactus hoodie, and Off-White™’s Caravaggio homage hoodie.

C2H4 “Post Human Era” Collection

C2h4

Following a debut at London Men’s Fashion Week Spring/Summer 2020, C2H4 has now released the first drop of its C2H4 “Case #R001” collection. Continuing the pervasive themes tied to the Los Angeles-based label, the seasonal range explores the boundaries of human enhancement technologies and the future of human consciousness through an imaginary social class system.

The collection creates afictional universe in which time and memory — two objective realities — turn into scalable and transferable measurements of the new social classes. The first drop features oversized metallic jackets, collared shirts with conceptual prints, reflective track jackets, distressed sweatshirts, windbreakers and neck card pouches. The three social classes of the new universe are showcased in the first drop, with the minimalist designs of the “Elite Class” used to represent their already achieved “immortality” and equanimous approach to life. While the “HDS Staff” are the working class of the new world defined by retro-sporty looks, informed by color clashes. The garments of the “Underclass” feature a faded-wash and unique distressing.

Fear of God Camo Print Drop

SSENSE

Fear of God introduces an artistic take on the camouflage pattern. Incorporating bright colors and a high level of detail not often found in camo, each piece appears to resemble that of a painting.

The “Prairie Ghost Camo” makes its way onto two silhouettes; the button-down shirt, a functional shirt inspired by military attire, but with an elevated presence as a result of the floral camo pattern; and the pants, this pair of pants sees a dark version of the Prairie Ghost Camo which takes the shape of a more traditional woodland camo thanks to its green, brown, and white tones.

YSTRDY’S TMRRW x LEE “BAGGY” Denim Capsule

YSTRDY’S TMRRW

YSTRDY’S TMRRW‘s head designer, Kazuya Sugano, channels his love for oversized clothing for a collection of baggy workwear that is both aged in appearance yet highly refined. Choosing a color palette based off of classic bandanas found at thrift shops, black, red, blue and white makes its way onto a jacket and a pair of painter pants.

While the collection looks like it would be unwearable to normal individuals, each piece features resized lengths to make sure the clothing looks baggy but remains comfortably secure on the body.
